— from Sara Boyle for Orcas Senior Center —

We are still looking for Focus Group Participants. Help the Senior Center gather information and provide input that will guide the our programing and initiative goals. Participate on a Focus Group to further explore the results of the “How to We Build a Vital Future” Orcas Island survey conducted in the Fall/Winter of 2017.

In June 2018, we will be holding three focus groups (10-12 people per group) to discuss services, needs, and solutions related to the following topics; (1) Coordinator to help Navigate and facilitate access to services, (2) Home Safety (including possible handyman services, home assessments and other services), and (3) Emergency Preparedness (including senior emergency kits and information about services such as Life Alert).

Interested in participating? Contact Sara Boyle via email oisc.cfa@gmail.com or phone (360-376-723).
